No other moisturizer works for me... I struggled for so long to find the right one. It's a holy grail for super sensitive skin. Madagascar emulsion + tea tree cleanser = perfection! Using toner and essence well, then applying this centella emulsion long-term really helps improve many skin concerns.
ConsIt's not very hydrating when used alone. You need to use toner and essence well. For those who find it greasy, make sure to properly hydrate in the previous steps before applying. For combination dehydrated skin, when it's dry (lacking water, not oil), it produces more oil. Combination skin = compromised barrier, so avoid harsh cleansing. It damages the skin and produces more oil. Dead skin cells are precious - don't exfoliate! Lots of flaking? It means 'I'm hurting, I'm dry, I'm in the process of healing.' Exfoliating = picking scabs, preventing skin regeneration, and aging faster.
TipIf you have dry skin, dampen your face with tap water or mist with purified water before moving on to toner. The toner and essence steps are essential. After toner and essence, if your skin is too damp when applying the emulsion, it can become dry later. Let it absorb a bit first. Use different amounts of emulsion depending on the season: summer < transitional seasons < winter. Things to pay attention to: Start by applying water, use the right amount of toner and essence (not too much or too little), don't over-absorb or under-absorb, don't use too much or too little emulsion, and adjust the amount based on season and humidity. This might sound confusing, but understanding it will help your skin suffer less. The same product can work or not work depending on how much you apply, and the level of absorption can determine whether your skin becomes dry or not. I hope someone reads this and finds it inspiring!

The texture is quite thin.
ConsScent: It has a clay-like smell, similar to what I've often encountered in unscented products. However, the scent is quite strong and lingers for a while. Oiliness: It's quite rich. Compared to the green tea cream I used before instead of emulsion, there's a noticeable difference. It leaves a shiny finish. Hydration: If you have dry skin, you might find it insufficient. Even with my combination dehydrated skin, I feel some deep dryness. Also, it absorbs rather slowly. I bought this because the reviews on the homepage were good, but I should have checked the Hwahae reviews too. I don't think I'll be able to use this well. I'll probably stick to my usual cream.

Although it has recovered to some extent after treatment, there are still reddish scars and redness, and the skin has become highly sensitive and prone to inflammation. 👉 Verified Recommended Product: I will update the product review I wrote for the 'Cynic The Simple Daily Lotion' product. ❤️ Centella Asiatica Lotion from Sidmool 👉 Product Features 1. Ingredients: It contains 80% centella extract and 4 types of powdered centella ingredients. Centella ingredients help with problem skin and barrier management. It would be suitable for those who respond well to centella, sensitive skin, and those recovering from subsided breakouts. 2. Texture: It's a lightweight, watery lotion type. It spreads smoothly and softly. However, due to the minimal ingredients, it absorbs slowly and has a slight white cast. You'll need to pat it in gently for absorption. 3. Moisturizing: As I have dehydrated skin, I feel it's a bit oily for me. Those with dry skin will likely find it sufficiently moisturizing. 4. Efficacy: Personally, as someone with highly sensitive skin who has experienced steroid side effects, this lotion quickly calmed the redness and most importantly, it balanced my oil and moisture levels, leaving my skin feeling moisturized without any residue. 👉 What I Liked 1. Gentle, centella-based formula! You know sensitive skin should avoid products with too many functional ingredients, right? The simpler and gentler the formula, the better it suits sensitive skin, and it's also easier to identify the problem. This lotion has centella, the key ingredient for skin recovery, as the core component, and it's formulated with other gentle ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Even with my highly sensitive skin from steroid side effects, the soothing effect was excellent.
Cons👉 Downsides 1. Slow absorption. Since it's a formula with simple, gentle ingredients, the absorption is not as great. There's a slight white cast when applying, but it disappears quickly if you gently pat it in. You'll need to take the time to let it absorb properly. (Updated) 2023.04.30 As I've been using it, I've noticed some small blemish breakouts, possibly due to the oiliness. It was fine for the first few weeks, but the warmer weather may be a factor. I don't recommend this for dehydrated skin types. Those with dry skin who respond well to centella would likely find this product suitable.
TipPro Tip: Try mixing in a drop or two of jojoba oil. It makes the lotion more moisturizing and absorptive, with no sticky residue. You'll find the blackheads have melted away by morning. I'd recommend this to sensitive, dry skin types who respond well to centella.

ConsMy skin is oily, but this product does not seem to control oil and sebum at all, and my skin actually feels worse. I'm also not sure if it has any acne-soothing effects.

My skin does not get along well with green tea, mugwort, centella, and madecassoside. To cut to the chase, this product is not worth even 1 point - it's the worst,,,, Thanks to(?) this product, I've definitely realized that I am completely incompatible with madecassoside. If I had to mention a positive point, it would be the price? It was cheaper than the moisturizer I was using before. However, it's not extremely cheap compared to other products, so I'm not sure if that can really be considered an advantage...😖
ConsFirst of all, I felt that it was quite oily 😢 It was too burdensome for my oily skin. And as soon as it touched my face, it caused itchiness and a burning sensation, which really surprised me. I should have stopped using it immediately, but I continued using it a bit longer, and my skin ended up in shambles 😭😭 That was my own fault. I thought maybe it would get better if I kept using it, but no, that was not the case.
TipIf you feel your skin is just not compatible, the answer is to stop using it immediately! If you keep using it thinking it's a waste, you'll end up having to spend more time, money, and effort trying to restore your skin. 😢😅

There were no benefits whenever I applied it, as it always caused breakouts.
ConsWhenever I use this, small breakouts and bumps appear on the areas that didn't used to have any trouble.. When I stop using it, the issues immediately subside, so it seems this product is the cause. I thought I got along well with centella, but I'm perplexed. It has a bit of oiliness, so it might not be great for oily skin types.

You shouldn't apply it to your face. You should apply it to your body.
ConsThe website description also states that it is a water-based product, and I couldn't find any oil-like ingredients in the full ingredients list either. Moreover, as Sidmool is a brand that is less oily compared to other roadshop brands, I chose it as my summer lotion, but it didn't work out. I used the Cica spot cream well in the winter, but it was too much for the summer, so I chose the Centella lotion. There's no soothing effect. As time passes, it becomes very oily. It's like that even though it's not fully summer yet. The skin texture is all over the place due to the imbalance in oil and moisture. I won't be buying Sidmool lotion again.

ConsMy skin is sensitive, and after switching lotions, I started having breakouts. Normally I just use a skin toner and moisturizer, but the oiliness seems to be the issue.

It suits me well as a person with sensitive skin. 2. When I apply it generously at night and go to sleep, my makeup applies well the next day. 3. As I have combination skin with dehydration, it provides the right amount of moisture and oil that my skin needs without feeling greasy. 4. It does not have an unpleasant fragrance.
Cons1. Oil content is a double-edged sword. It can make my skin look shiny as shown in the picture. 2. It absorbs slowly, so I don't use it in the mornings when I'm in a hurry.
TipAlthough it absorbs slowly, it significantly improves the tightness of my skin. When I apply it before bed and get some sleep, my skin condition is quite good the next day.
